unfinished business

Well, right now I'm on my way to chicago to pick up my car from the shop. It's fixed and it only cost me 1500. I mean that's not to bad. What could I have done with 1500 dollars anyways. Paid my rent for 6 months, bought a lot of cloths, went on vacation, or you know just took that money out of the bank and slept on a pile of money. I've always wanted to get my scrooge McDuck on in this lifetime.



P.s. I'm writing on a cramped megabus from my blackberry. Oh how I love my phone.

I'm a puzzle thats missing some pieces...

I'm back after almost a week of no blogging. I haven't really had the time to update as much as I would like to since I'm back in school. I know thats a pathetic reason, but I am going to do better. Scouts honor(I wasn't really a boy scout). School is going along well. I have interesting classes: Social Theories, Social Research Methods, Sociology of the Family, TV Analysis, and Psychology 1000. I think I'm going to enjoy this semester, well, once I'm able to get some textbooks and actually begin studying. You may be wondering why I have yet to obtain a single text book for my five classes, well, let me list the reasons:

1. Text books cost alot

2. My school owes a 4000 dollar refund check

3. I usually put my textbooks on my student account

4. Charging anything to my student account will reduce my refund check

5. I am extremely broke and thus refuse to do anything until I get my check first. 

I think those are great reasons, but I do believe that I will need to go find a book somewhere. I just want to be able to learn and be a great student...ugh that sounded so cliche. 

Oh, wait there is other news. I'm working out again. This time it won't be like last semester where I spent all money on protein shake mix, started going to the gym in the beginning, and eventually quit. No, this time I am being dedicated. I need to get bigger and put on some weight. Cute and small isn't always great. I need some type of weight to me. Especially since I want a tattoo. I don't want them to accidently tattoo my rib cage and I have ink flowing through my bone marrow. 

Wait, wait, wait! I have more great news besides my developing muscle mass, my car is fixed and I will be returning to the Chi to pick it up on Friday. I can't wait to have my own vehicle again. Well, I'm done ...ttyl.

Always

I've been up since about 2am. I have a serious case of insomnia so I decided to try to write. Lately writing has been come hard for me. I usually can turn out a new piece with ease, but I think it's because I need to get back to my novel. I keep saying that, but Eric has given me some mild inspiration. Well, it is 4:43am and I've finished a new poem. I hope you like it. 

Sing to me of ideas that lurk in the dark

Monsters that fear the light, yet yearn to be seen,

Sing to me of dreams that are peaceful and serene,

Healing the ravages of a reality that tears lives apart

 

Sing to me with words that are more than metaphor,

Similes that are not similar to past affinities

 

Dance with me with only our hearts for a beat

Synchronizing our steps as we harmonize our dreams for change

Dance with me under a new moon, full but fleeting

Spotlight for our insecurity and fears until they no longer feel strange

 

Dance with me while we embark on destiny’s path

Sing to me with a voice that sooths my nightmares

Dance with me as we create envy that is unparallel

 

Sing to me,

Dance with me,

Live with me,

Laugh with me,

Be with me,

Always.

Good morning world. This is your friendly neighborhood blogger here to give you an update on my life. I know you've probably been wondering where have I been since my last post. Please don't worry, I have not been captured by insurgents(thats for anyone who has seen Pimp Chronicles). 

Right now as I type I am on the Megabus going from Chicago to Columbia. Mo, Yes, I am returning to the collegiate lifestyle that I so love. A life of ramen noodles, last minute studying,, and an overdose of Starbucks. Oh, how I miss being able to buy Starbucks and charge it to my student account. Well, I have an issue to discuss, a minor gripe with the Megabus corporation and Chicago weather. 

Lets list the facts:

1. Chicago is currently 10 degrees outside(rough estimate)

2. I have a lot of luggage and so does everyone else. 

3. Majority of the passengers of this bus are going to Columbia, Mo where a college is located

4. Common sense would mean that we are going back to school.

So with all that in mind here is what happened. My sister and I were outside trying to get our luggage checked so we can board the bus back to school. The people loading the bus was trying his hardest to accommodate all the luggage into the caboose of the bus, but they hit a snag. They were not packing in the best space conserving methods. Wait, it gets worse. We were already outside for around twenty minutes when they decided that they would have to reload the bus. Meaning I would have to stand out there another twenty minutes until they packed everything the RIGHT way. 

HYPOTHERMIA AND FROSTBITE ARE STILL FACTORS WHEN IT COMES TO CHICAGO. 

My sister was dying outside. I think her big toe has officially lost all feeling for the rest of her life, and I was slowly losing motor skills in my feet. Eventually we opened one of my suitcases and out on a few more pair of socks, Yes, it was that bad. Eventually we just said fuck it and left our bags outside. We assumed they'd figure it out. The cold made me less willing to stand guard over my luggage. 

Well, that ordeal is over, and I am now sitting in the back of the bus where I will be for 8 hours. I hope to eventually slip into a slight coma. 

~Waves bye bye to Chicago, and closes eyes relishing in what is to come this Semester. :-)

My Trip to Michigan

Dr. Nick: Hi everybody
Everyone on Blogspot: Hi Doctor Nick

I've been missing in action for a few days due to illness(I was dying and kept seeing a bright light), lack of writing motivation, and because I went to Michigan from Saturday until Tuesday. Me and two of my Bros hopped in the car and randomly decided to drive to Michigan to visit our friends at Grand Valley University.

It was a dark and stormy night, and all through the state not a creature was stirring not even a mouse...well, that was a random interlude brought to you by Pierre Willis.

Now back to our regularly scheduled post. The drive to Michigan was long, but my brother has a DVD player radio so we watched Eagle Eye. It was my first time seeing it, and I can honestly say I am beginning to become really afraid of robots. They are always killing people...DAMN THEM ROBOTS!!! ~ Shakes Fist Angrily~

Well, the first night in Michigan was great. I partied, drank, and participated in the usual college weekend activities ;-). My friend Jasmine goes to Grandvalley so me and my brothers hung out with her a few days, and tried to stay real busy but relaxed.

We intended to leave Monday afternoon and on our way out of town we decided to stop and say bye to a few people. We stopped and visited our friends Jessica and Jasmine and started a deep discussion about their sex life or lack of one and our own opinions when it comes to sex. It was a very fun conversation because me and my brothers pretty much triple teamed them in the conversation. It was great times, but we ended up talking for 5 hours so we stayed until Tuesday.

I enjoyed my vacation to Michigan and will leave you with a poem my favorite poet did about the evil of robots. Hope you are fully enlightened. Train Ride OVER......

** So I realized that my playlist on here was obsolete so I've made a new one of all poetry plus Lil' Wayne and Pharrell's new song entitled Yes. I also added one of my poems to the playlist...:-)

I found the fountain of youth....

I found the fountain of youth,
and it resides in the eyes of every child of the 90's
look in the mirror and realize that your eyes hold the proof,
that child hood cartoons instilled in our subconscious,

If I had one wish it would be to dive so deep into the past,
reminiscing about times that have passed until I see images,
blurry figures of old heroes that have been killed rather meaningless...










And there were so many more shows on Nick: Hey Arnold, Rocket Power, etc. Disney had great shows too: Duck tales was one of my favorites. I use to love inspector gadget, power rangers, and pretty much any cartoon or childrens series of the 90's. Oh, Wild Thornberry's and as told by ginger were some of my favorites. Oh, and can't forget about recess.

P.S. Am I the only one who believed that T.J was going to become King of the playground
?

Finally

So today has been an alright day so far. I received my shoes that I've been waiting for, and I refuse to take them off my feet. I'm not even going anywhere, I'm just sitting at the computer, and I will not remove the shoes. Oh, and this woman finally called me back regarding an internship I want with the public relations company Webershandwick. I emailed her in December but she never received the email. So of course I've started calling her office(stalking is good sometimes). I hope my school comes through with my money asap so I can fix my car. I'm really hurting without it.

Well, I'm going to leave you with a few pics of me modeling my new favorite shoes.

Iron Maiden Sk8 Hi Vans/Birthday

I love shoes, and I love shopping. I wish there was more picks of me over the last few days because I was to phli. You know you phli when you're standing in Aero and a random dude walks up to you and asks where can he get what you have on. It was great. I like kudos sometimes just like the next man. Well, on my birthday I got it crackin. We went to a party and it was the most fun I've had all break. It was interesting because a random girl just started kissing me. I can't say it was the worst way to bring in the New Year, but it wasn't the very best.

Me and my boys stepped out extremely grown. Cardigans and blazers were the theme of the night. I say we represented Chicago style and flare to the fullest extent. We danced, we drank, and we did what we do best, get it crackin. Oh, so my week has been good ever since my B-day. Yesterday me and my bro went to a hotel party and it was so much fun. I forgot why I love being at home. Well, I love being home despite the ill occurrences that keep happening:my car being killed, lack of money, and other random frustrations.

I want to end this post on a positive note. I ordered some new vans off my new favorite site, Karmaloop.com. Look below and be amazed.
